Magnified Human Larynx

A functional anatomical model that demonstrates movements of the epiglottis and cartilages in the voice box. Serves as a teaching aid for physiology and hygiene, helps the students to require and understanding of the porphology and structure of the respiratory tract and phonetic organ. The model is 3 times larger than life size and dissects into 3 parts. The model demonstrates: The thyroid cartilage, cricord cartilage, epiglottis, laryngeal muscles as well as a part of the ligaments makes up the larynx. The thyroid gland is shown by its left and right lobes and also: On the median sagittal section, the model shows the false vocal cord (plica ventriculus), true vocal cord (plica phoneticus) and laryngeal ventricle etc.of the phonetic organ. Above and anterior to the larynx is the hyoid bone, while the lower part of the larynx is connected with the trachea.
